Hello, I have a program that makes HTTP requests in a loop to a box runing Linux. It goes through another Linux box, which is using proxy ARP and is connected to the client and the web server using a cross over cable [CLIENT]----[PROXY]----[WEBSERVER] When the proxy machine uses 2.2 series kernel, I see a certain bit rate, call it X. X stays constant always, no matter how many times I run my workload. When I upgraded to 2.4-test8, I see the following behavior: Initial run (fresh boot) I see a speed greater than X (4X) subsequent runs, the bit rate keeps dropping and becomes 1/3X! The only way to get back the first bit rate is to reboot! Please some one tell me if this issue will be resolved. Thanks Lee ______________________________________________ FREE Personalized Email at Mail.com Sign up at http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
